how long to yank off ?
anybody know how many mercruiser flat rate hours are called for to remove and replace a bravo one out drive and any additional time called for to inspect the drive coupler ? or do they tell you to pull the motor to check it ?

I think my old marina charged around $200 for drive service. I never had it done there but a buddy of mine does every year, and every year they usually forget to put something back on and have to pull it off again

I would think anything over an hour would be excessive.
I would do them all day long for $100 a drive
The only thing you could not hook back up would be water hose for the speedo, and you can do that without taking the drive back off.
It dosen't get much simpler than that.
Alpha's are a little different and can be a pain.

I don't see what you could forget to put back on unless they have kids working on it. Two hours is fair to pull it off, check everything, check alignment, clean gaskets or o rings and reinstall. Yeah you could do it in an hour, but a doctor could probably replace your heart in less time than he charges but are you going to argue about that and tell him to cut corners?
